Thanksgiving email

Helllo all! I am doing great here in Brazil. No problems just success. The Lord has been blessing us tremendously!

I just got back from the temple. It was a good session. It was needed. I hadn´t got to go in 6 months. I feel bad for Elders in Missions that don´t have access to a temple. Thanksgiving is just here on the corner, so that means that everybody will be tasting good there. Here on the other hand is different because they don´t have Thanksgiving here. But we will be having a good lunch with somebody we are teaching.

I am having the time of my life. The miracles I have seen have strengthened my testimony. Diligence or steady and energetic effort in doings the Lords work has brought blessings into my life and to those that we have been teaching. The results that people have gotten from Moroni´s promise in the End of The Book of Mormon (to read, ponder, and pray about the Book of Mormon) is a true and active invite. I have seen one of the people we teach go from drugs to righteousness. It is amazing and brings joy into my life.

I know that God has a body of flesh and bones that is glorified, He answers prayers! I know that Christ the messiah, has paid for the sins of the world and that the calling that I have to teach his gospel is real. I have felt and seen the Spirit work through me to help the beloved children of Heavenly Father recieve the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. It is amazing, hard work but well worth it! I wish all of you a happy turkey-day.
"Come bem"
Com amor e saudade,
Elder Tossey
